APPLICATIONS
DPR Liquid Natural Rubber
The DPR products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers
of natural rubber. DPR liquid rubber offers processing
flexibility and performance options for a wide range of
applications. They contain no solvents or additives; and they
are compatible with a broad range of solvents, plasticizers,
resins and polymers. DPR liquid natural rubber is available in
several grades that vary by molecular weight. The lower
weight grades have lower viscosity.
Liquid natural rubber improves rubber and polymer
compounding. It acts as a plasticizer to reduce cycle time and
energy consumption. Since it cures by the same mechanism as
natural rubber, it becomes part of the polymer matrix and
remains non-fugitive.
Typical Applications
1
DPR liquid rubber provides all the performance properties of
natural rubber in a convenient liquid. Liquid rubber performs
many functions in a wide range of applications:
Binder for aggregates, grinding wheels, and friction
products.
Rubber processing aid.
Rubber performance improvement.
Reactive vehicle for rubber additives.
Rheology modifier for lubricants.
Polymer base for molding and tooling systems.
Polymer base for electrical encapsulants.
Asphalt modifier.
DPR liquid rubber has excellent wetting characteristics. It
binds synthetic fibers and other reinforcements into polymer
matrices. DPR can bind more than ten times its weight in
fillers and abrasives for grinding wheels and other friction
products.
DPR reduces the viscosity of uncured rubber systems at levels
of 5-to-20 parts of polymer. This reduces power
requirements, improves blend consistency, and reduces the
risk of scorching. It is also used with such polymers as
polychloroprene, EPDM, polybutadiene, SBR and acrylonitrile-
isoprene.
DPR liquid rubber improves the stability of heavy-duty
lubricants by increasing the resistance to flow on vertical
surfaces and by holding dry additives in a more stable
suspension. It also improves asphalt formulations by reducing
flow at high temperatures and improving properties at cold
temperatures.
ISOLENE Liquid Synthetic Rubber
The ISOLENE products are low molecular weight, liquid
polymers of synthetic rubber. They are translucent, honey-
colored liquids in bulk volume and clear in thin films. The
color and clarity are ideal for pressure sensitive adhesives
(PSA), UV curable polymer systems, and S-I-S and S-B-S block
copolymer compounding.
The ISOLENE products improve adhesive and polymer
compounding. They act as plasticizers to reduce cycle time
and energy consumption. They cure into the polymer matrix
and remain non-fugitive in the final product.
ISOLENE polymers are available in two commercial grades—
The regular ISOLENE polymer and the ISOLENE S-Grades. The
S-Grades contain an antioxidant to improve the long-term
color stability. Both grades come in two standard viscosities.
Typical Applications
The light colored ISOLENE products are ideal for
compounding PSA. The low molecular weight liquid polymers
are reactive plasticizers that improve several adhesive
attributes:
Impart green tack.
Maintain adhesion at low temperatures.
Improve coating and flow characteristics.
Improve adhesion to flexible substrates.
Avoid bleed-through associated with other plasticizers.
The ISOLENE products improve the solubility of polymers in
the adhesive. They reduce the required energy and time to
compound S-I-S pressure sensitive adhesives.
ISOLENE products can soften hot melt adhesives and lower
their melt temperature.
ISOLENE polymers form the base polymer in such UV-cured
systems as PSA, flexible printing plates, and other radiation
cured systems.
KALENE Liquid Butyl Rubber
The KALENE products are low-molecular-weight liquid
polymers of butyl rubber and no solvents. They provide gas
impermeability, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, and
good electrical properties.
Typical Applications
The KALENE products impart the performance benefits of
butyl rubber and provide the processing convenience of a
liquid. They make convenient bases for sealants, coatings, and
adhesives. These coatings have higher solids than those
based on butyl rubber because the KALENE products are
liquids.
KALENE’s butyl properties impart chemical resistance to a
wide variety of sealants and adhesives. Underwater marine
and roof coatings take advantage of the resistance to salt and
fresh water. Such applications as tank linings and coatings
utilize the chemical and moisture resistant properties.
The KALENE products provide tack to pressure sensitive
adhesives and they improve the adhesion of butyl-based
adhesives and sealants. They also act as reactive plasticizers
for conventional butyl to improve compounding efficiency.
Since they cure by the same mechanism as butyl rubber, they
become part of the polymer matrix. They are non-fugitive.
KALAR Cross-Linked Butyl Pellets
The KALAR products are partially cross-linked butyl rubber
compounds. They are pellitized for easy handling. They
feature the performance benefits of butyl rubber, the
processing ease of pellets, and the ability to maintain their
properties with a high level of fillers and plasticizers. They also
impart excellent resistance to creep and flow.
The KALAR products provide act as the base polymer or as a
performance additive for adhesives and sealants that require
the properties of butyl rubber. These benefits include
2
excellent chemical resistance, moisture & gas impermeability,
good electrical properties and resistance to aging.
The KALAR products offer several processing benefits to
formulators of butyl systems:
Eliminates butyl rubber premastication.
Requires no vulcanization.
Dissolves easily in a wide range of solvents.
Extends with high levels of fillers and plasiticizers.
Blends readily with other compounding ingredients.
Typical Applications
The principal applications for KALAR cross-linked butyl are as
sealants for commercial and industrial markets:
Industrial sealant tape.
Architectural glazing tape.
Automotive windshield tape.
Automotive sealant and sound deadening compound.
Tire sealant.
High-strength thermoplastic sealant.
Weather-proofing sealant tape.
KALAR products impart the benefits of butyl rubber to many
other applications. These applications incorporate KALAR
products in concentrations that range from a few percent to
the major part of the formulation:
Hot-melt glazing compounds.
Solvent release coatings.
Caulks.
Construction adhesives.
Tank linings and roof coatings.
The processing advantages make the KALAR products a
convenient tool for compounders. They use KALAR products
in small concentrations in conventional systems:
Processing aid for butyl rubber.
Enhance green strength in butyl and EPDM compounds.
PACKAGING, HANDLING AND PROCESSING
DPR and ISOLENE
Both of these products are packaged in open-head drums. All
grades may be charged directly from container to the
appropriate mixing vessel
DPR and ISOLENE likewise may be stored at elevated
temperatures, which do not exceed 60°C. This pre-heating
may be done for several days prior to use. Drums should
always be vented during any exposure to elevated
temperatures to avoid pressurizing that container.

Compounding DPR and ISOLENE can usually be accomplished
in comparatively lightweight mixers such as open churns.
Efficient blending is usually possible with slow mixing. When
a master batch technique is utilized, the initial addition of
plasticizer is minimized. Dough mixers of the Hobart type are
often used.
If only a small amount of dry ingredients is to be incorporated,
it should be mixed with part of the rubber to form a master
batch. After an adequate dispersion is reached, the master
batch can be let down gradually with the addition of the
remaining liquids. When the dispersion must be optimized, a
final processing step would be milling on a three-roll paint
mill.
More intense mixing, which would be required by extremely
high consistency pastes, is possible using internal kneader-
type equipment, manufactured by Bramley or Baker-Perkins.
KALENE
KALENE is packaged in fiber kegs that are treated with a non-
transferable release coating. The KALENE can be removed
from the keg by first removing the lid and then inverting the
keg on a sheet of release paper or other suitable release-
coated surface. Holes should be punched in the bottom of the
keg to break the partial vacuum, which may exist.
other ingredients are added. This important first step takes
approximately 10-15 minuets depending on the temperature
and efficiency of the mixer. Then the addition of alternating
increments of filler and solvent would follow. Any plasticizer
should be added last.
Hot melts can be mixed in high-powered Sigma blade mixers
capable of being heated. The usual order of addition is
polymer followed by the gradual addition of alternating
increments of filler and plasticizers.
Very stiff compounds may be mixed in a Banbury or on a two-
roll rubber mill.

If innocuous fillers are part of the compound, the exposed

surfaces of the KALENE "slug" can be immediately dusted to
prevent further sticking.

If the KALENE is going to be cut in solvent, it can be

incrementally charged to a sigma blade type mixer.

KALENE can be compounded in two ways. The polymer may

be blended directly with the other compounding ingredients
in a sigma blade type mixer. An alternate procedure would
pre-cut the KALENE with solvent, such as a mineral spirits. This
allows ingredient additions to be made in conventional
equipment used by the sealant and paint industries.

Generally, Sigma blade-type mixers are employed for the first

compounding method. With the latter method, an adequate
dispersion of solids is accomplished on a three-roll paint mill
or ball mill as a final processing step.

KALAR

The pelletized KALAR is supplied in boxes.

Coatings may be produced by adding the KALAR pellets

directly to solvent, using a high-speed homogenizer-disperser.
Other ingredients predispersed in part of the solvent/polymer
blend are added as a final step.

Caulks and sealants may be made in Sigma blade mixers by

first charging the KALAR to the pre heated mixer. The
pelletized KALAR should be permitted to mass before any

MIXING PROCEDURE

All ingredients except the curatives and solvent are

mixed in a Banbury. The batch is dumped and
allowed to cool. The curatives are then introduced to
the batch on a cool two roll mill. The batch is finally
solvated in a churn to 30-40% solids using a 1:1 blend
of hexane/toluene. A simplified alternate mixing
procedure would utilize an internal mixer of the
kneader-extruder type. The batch should be held as
"tight" as possible by minimizing solvent additions to
ensure a good dispersion of the dry ingredients. The
final step would be the addition of the remaining
solvent. Solvent adjustments should be made at this
time to bring the batch to the proper solids level.

PEROXIDE CURE WITH ISOLENE/MONOMER/POLYMER BLENDS

Table IV is a list of three of the most effective peroxides.

TABLE IV

Peroxides

Varox DCP-40C
Lupersol 101
t-Butyl Perbenzoate

Preparation of compounds evaluated in the laboratory

was accomplished by simply hand-blending ISOLENE
with the particular monomer or monomer combination.
The chosen liquid peroxides were added to this blend
along with a few drops of antifoam agent. While most
compounds could be hand-blended, the more viscous
polymer combinations and the systems using the solid
Varox DCP-40C were mixed mechanically to insure
uniformity. All compounds were de-aerated prior to the
curing of test specimens.

Test specimens were prepared from 70 mil sheets made

from casting and curing the liquid system between glass
plates. An equally successful method of specimen
preparation utilized the "press-cure" route.

Although a cycle of 10 minutes at 300°F resulted in

adequate cures where heat transfer was efficient, the
majority of specimens were cured for 1 hour at 300°F.

There were no significant differences noted in the

properties of samples prepared using either of the two
techniques.

In the case of formulations that included polymers, the

above pattern was slightly modified in that a nominal
amount of monomer was used as a reactive co-diluent
to facilitate blending of the ISOLENE and the other
polymers.

The following data are not directed toward any

particular application; nonetheless this brief study
establishes a versatile alternate formulating approach to
compounds based on the liquid polyisoprenes.
